Healthcare #2

Healthcare + AI #2

We hosted our first Healthcare + AI event at NVIDIA last October, drawing a large crowd of technologists, doctors, academics and entrepreneurs.

On September 12th, we're exploring more about how NLP and Linguistic Computing are percolating into the healthcare patient-provider space with ResultCare and Doc.ai. Thank you UC Berkeley Skydeck for hosting this event!

Related: Doc.ai and Stanford Children's Health are hosting a first of its kind hackathon on Sept. 9th and 10th at Stanford. If you're into Blockchain, AI and Healthcare, join us - we'll be there! Learn more at hackforneurons.com.
